Feb 21, 2011

CMS Men's Tennis earned its third victory of 2011 on Monday
afternoon, as the Stags completed an 8-1 rain delayed win over #5
Concordia University of NAIA. Freshman Zhenya Pereverzin (Clackamas, OR
[pictured right]) won two matches at #3 doubles and #6 singles in
his debut dual match for CMS.

Leading 2-0 after rain halted play on Saturday, CMS' #2 doubles
team Alex Lane (So. - Claremont, CA) and Brandon Wei (Jr. - Lake Oswego, OR)
won two of three games to get an 8-6 victory and put the Stags up
3-0 heading into the singles. CMS' second doubles sweep in as many
matches was anchored by #1 team Robbie Erani (Jr. - New York, NY) and
Ronald Wu (Sr. Capt - Los Altos, CA)
and first time pair Russell Brockett (Sr. - Austin, TX)
Pereverzin at #3. In the singles, Brockett put CMS ahead 4-0 with
his blistering 6-1, 6-1 win at #3 singles. Lane clinched the match
with his 6-3, 6-0 win at #1. At singles positions #2, #4, #5 and #6
the Stags were pushed hard, with Alex Johnson (So. - Thousand Oaks, CA)
and Pereverzin winning three-set matches. Captain Wu won a tough
two-setter at #5, while sophomore Mac
Cahill (Southport, CT) came up just short in a third
set match tie-break at #4.

CMS is now 3-0 on the season and will take on 30th ranked
Brandeis at 10 AM on Saturday, followed by a 2 PM match against
Chapman. Both matches will be played at the Biszantz Family Tennis
